My boyfriend of 6 years and father of my kids is doing a 7 year sentence on charges of Aggravated Sexual Abuse for having sex with a girl that was only 4 months under the age of consent. The reason it is aggravated is only because he was more than 5 years older than her. Other people in the same county, with similar charges, have gotten probation or up to 3-5 years. We all know what he did was wrong and I am not trying to argue that here. I am not asking that he not be punished either. What I am asking is that the punishment fit the crime. How is taking all these years away from him, me, our friends and especially our kids justice The sex was consensual, the only problem being the girl was 4 months away from her birthday to make her legal. I am asking that his sentence and charges be reduced to something more just!

Seeing all these people backing us is honestly so overwhelming and I just keep staring at the screen and crying because I never thought so many people would actually care about justice for our family. It feels like the world is finally listening to how unfair this whole situation has been for our kids and I am shaking just trying to type this out because it gives me actual hope again.

My heart breaks for those kids. They need their dad back. The court needs to look at the other cases and be fair for once.

The law is blind sometimes. This is crazy. Everyone makes mistakes and 4 months isnt worth ruining a whole mans life over. FIX THIS.
